au where gus is a little too stupid and repressed so when shawn finally does take the chance and tells him he loves him, well gus has to let him down (gently of course) because he’s straight. (“you know if i was then you’d–” “please don’t finish that sentence”). and it hurts gus to see shawn so broken in front of him and to see how much it affects him and how hard it is for him to even hide it, and if gus could change anything in the world this would be it because he’d do anything to make shawn happy. but that’s not how life works, is it?

and i think it takes a long time, the better part of a year, for him to figure everything out. but eventually he does, because it’s all he thinks about. why did it hurt so much to tell shawn no? why did it feel so wrong to say those words? why does it feel like there’s something missing when he already knows that what’s missing is something he doesn’t want? (he doesn’t? right?). and i think it’s gradual, something he keeps thinking about and questioning in the back of his mind for a long time, and idk how he gets there, maybe there’s an ‘oh’ moment when he looks at shawn one day, maybe he wakes up and everything just clicks, or maybe it’s even subtler than that. but eventually gus realizes that he’s gay and in love with shawn (and has been for a lot longer than he’d like to admit).

he sits with it for a while before he decides to say anything because he has to make sure, really sure, because this isn’t something he can screw up. but eventually he’s confident enough to want to tell shawn, and when he finally decides to do it, he’s struck with the realization that he might be too late. he might’ve missed his chance. shawn told him he loved him almost a year ago and gus doesn’t know just how far his feelings went, so what if shawn was over him by now. he’s acted like it after the first few weeks, so what if gus is too late?

but then i think gus would suck it up and tell him anyway because if there was even the slightest of a chance that shawn still loved him, then gus would take that chance over the millions of ways it could go wrong. if shawn could be brave and do it then so could he.

i think he plans a speech, spends too much time going over all the words and apologies and explanations, making sure he has it all memorized, but when shawn answers the door, all the words in the world other than four disappear. when shawn looks at him as gus shoves his way out of the rain and into his apartment, as his breath shakes and startles and stops at all the what ifs, the only words he can find are “am i too late?”

shawn frowns and looks around a little, because, “i don’t think so, it’s only 8:30. wh–” and then gus shakes his head and grips his sleeve so tight his fingers hurt and his voice breaks a little as he says “no, shawn, am i too late?”

shawn blinks, and gus is still looking at him, eyes big and wide and wet, and then shawn softens as he realizes what gus is asking. he swallows over the lump in his throat and all it takes is a little shake of his head for gus to take the leap and kiss him.

Me and Dino got really passionate the other night about Kyle and Hal headcanons so anyway this escalated to me showing him that Coast City's canonical history is that it was founded by a spanish explorer and "won" by America in the Mexico-American wars and that in turn lead to us HC'ing that Coast City is actually in the Gulf of California on the dividing line so Hal himself is latino-jewish which adds even more layers to Kyle saying "all the kids on my block wanted to be you growing up" in the sense of Hal being the first openly latino superhero they saw in the news and we are both clinging to our rapidfire headcanons forever now

hi its me im the person who sent the metags ask yesterday ,,,, i have a kind of dumb au idea that mostly just originated from me and my friends joking about how ii is somewhat connected to pressure since (iirc?) It had a collab/crossover with bfdi, which had a collab with regretevator, which had a collab with pressure a while back

i need to think this out more but for now i was kinda thinking that maybe Steve Cobs. Has ties to Urbanshade and i dunno. sent the mephones down to the hadal blacksite post-lockdown (not sure who Sebastian would be in this case,,,? same with P.AI.nter.) but didn’t fully think it through when it came to how waterproof they are, seeing as the hadal blacksite is at the bottom of the ocean. and i was thinking that at some point, mephone4 trips and falls into the water, kinda leading to this au’s equivalent of the s1 finale cliff scene where mephone4S sacrifices himself for mephone4 (this group of expendables if i can still call them that consists of mephone4, mephone4S, and mepad. mayyybe 3GS but i was thinking that he could potentially be p.ai.nter..?)

kinda considering having mepad die along the way but at the same time,,,,,, i want them to have. A somewhat happy ending seeing how miserable this concept would already be if you consider what the ending of pressure means for sebastian and p.ai.nter ,,,

this is a really rough idea but i just kind of wanted to share it because why not . Yay. Please refrain from killing me with rocks

Can I say just that a fandom idea that just fully rubs me the wrong way is that Veilfall would be the solution to all the issues Dragon Age introduced in games before that such as classism and racism. It wouldn't even really fix the mage right issue although that is probably the least important one here.

I see this idea floated around constantly and first- kinda hate the vibe of solving real-life coded social issues with magical boom event that just resets the world- like moving away from the source of conflicts in Dragon Age being things that are pretty realistic and more tied to human nature then fantasy stuff and going full god-plot is one of the issues DAV already has, why would you try and make it worse by suggesting we can magic the racism away (funny that there is also usually no talk at all about how that would affect qunari- other race that faces a lot if prejudice in games, DAV doing them especially dirty, that is not tied to the Veil at all.).

Second... I just don't buy it would solve anything actually. Because even if everyone had magic they would just be whole new kinds of social inequality- just like there were before the Veil.

Now this is not to say the Veil shouldn't have come down- maybe it would make for a cooler climax maybe it wouldn't idk, I think there is a way to do this that would be fun and made for a more tense final battle , but the argument that magicing away the issues would be a better more satysfying ending. Idk guys maybe I am a bitter cynic but to me this is just as bad as the secret ending we got.

forgive me this is just another one of those moments trying to find greater meaning out of trivial things but, but, but — i lost my retainer at a restaurant when i was visiting a friend and right when i realised my teeth are naked we rushed back at 11pm (no avail) and then again at 5am on the next day and they let us search the trash which was unpleasant and smelly and the food was rotting. we found some gloves and started taking the trash apart inch by inch and when we were 60% through, my friend gleed in so much happiness, took out my retainer, and shouted “god is great”. we were very grateful to the employees and just for everything in life. the sun was just coming out like some symbolism to our achievement.

we were walking and she said “we knew it was definitely in the trash, we would regret and lose our peace if we didn't atleast attempt to find it”.

i almost threw up standing too long to the trash can. and i am sure she felt the same, experiencing this not even for her own cause. and i know we would have searched through the waste twice before giving up and booking another appointment for a retainer.

i keep thinking to myself — what if all good things in life are like a retainer on a restaurant’s trash can? god it is going to suck to find it. but we know it's in there. we just need to be persistent enough.

why aren’t we giving the stone to the butcher?? that takes care of the moral dilemma surrounding scratch and, in an abstract really creepy slightly homoerotic way, turns the butcher into an ally. why is our only option oscar?? it’d be so easy too, and neither of them even mentioned it?? like. before colins went to prison, slip the stone in his pocket and he goes straight to a psychiatric ward with restraints and bullet proof glass. like?? let’s be smart here. maybe i expected too much of them.

Okay so I'm& revitalizing this again.

Hi, my& name's Arcana& / Angel&, and I& am the core / host / singletsona of The Imaginarians Galaxy. If you want to help support a local queer, trans, nonbinary, genderfluid, intersex, mspec, aspec, autistic, disabled, neurodivergent, hoh, chronically ill, psychotic spoonie witch two spirited mixed native and ashkenazi jewish bodied multigenic DID system who's an aspiring activist, fashion model, voice & film actrex, ASMRtist, youtuber/vtuber, polyglot & writer, it'd be greatly appreciated.

This month is Pride Month & Indigenous History Month so please support our indigenous turtle island communities, know who's land you're on and support queer indigenous turtle islander creators, & on top of that, July 13th is also my& birthday & July is also Disability Pride Month & Queer Wrath Month !! I& just find it's funny how white queers get all this support & clout, but the minute a queer Native Jew asks for any kind of mutual assistance, it's like cricket noises, but anyway, here I& go again, I'm& putting out these links just in case someone actually does wanna help out because it's only right to do so being an indigenous queer two spirited bodied system, after all.

If you're white, you can think of this as paying reparations for us& for dealing with antinative racism, antisemitism, ableism, sanism, pluralphobia, psyism, audism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, multitransphobia, aphobia, exorsexism, intersexism and the ongoing colonization of my& people and fighting on the behalf of the indigenous, queer and plural communities on here while for any POC reading this, you can think of this as extending your solidarity with us&, so after I& spent a lot of blood sweats and tears into what i& do, I'm& finally asking something that would benefit me& for a change, even like 10$ could help, but even if you still can't for whatever reason, please spread the word out to help us& live easier as a disabled, neurodivergent mixed native system in this ableist & racist world.

Donate To Our& P*yP*l

So far these are the best ways to support us&. Information on commissions, booking tarot readings with me& as well as sensitivity reader information will be available in a reblog eventually.

We& didn't have a great childhood growing up as we& were abused for a decade & we& weren't taught many lifeskills so we're& still learning from the gate. Even though we aren't in a life threatening emergency, I'm& generally not in the right financial space to spend a lot & buying my& own shit because I'm& Saving Up™ for a lot of things, including the possibility of me& moving to my& first ever apartment next year & my& future service dog & I& cannot work due to my& multiple disabilities, & I& can't stand up for long periods of time without feeling exhausted & just being an overall madcripple, so whatever you do, it'd be greatly appreciated, especially if you like our& content.

Remember, reblogs > likes!

mostly i want yaz to hit 14 because i think having the noble-temple family walk into the kitchen where hes trying to stop his nose from bleeding next to yaz standing there like a little sentient thunder cloud and having him jump in front of her in defense before anyone can say anything like "it's not her fault!" is just a really endearing image
